When trying to deploy one helper js "svgHelper.js" , I selected that "js" and deployed it from IlluminatedCloud -> Deploy Modified Metadata. and selected my target org, now this is what I saw in logs. It tries to deploy the full bundle and not the only JS file which got changed.

Is this expected?

Shouldn't it deploy only the JS file, I know that it wont be possible via package.xml though, but that would be great if you can.

What type of org is the destination? If it's production, by default IC will only use the Metadata API when deploying. You would see a debug message to this effect a little higher in the log where IC determines which API to use when deploying.

[Nagendra Singh]

destination and source both are developer orgs, (Developer Edition).

[Scott Wells]

Can you provide the full idea.log (or at least everything around this deployment)? That will clarify why IC is choosing the Metadata API over the Tooling API.

I have attached the logs.

[Scott Wells]

Thanks. Unfortunately that log doesn't show the full operation. I will need to see more of the log before that to see the logic IC applies to determine which deployment path to use. Please send me all logs from the full time span of the total operation. Thanks!

[Nagendra Singh]

I have reattached the logs.
